Are these washers available?
My old man thinks that the noise will not be sorted out with 2 washers lol i would like to prove him wrong
please do!!
How are the frotn struts held on to the body on the clio? I can only see the top nut holding the top part of the mount on; is this the part that stops if falling out of the inner wing? if so will creating a larger gap here not possibly create a knock when the suspension unloads?
Does this problem cause a slight juddering through the steering when parking/turning on near full lock etc? I think mine might have this problem occassionally.

how do you you plan on unloading the suspension? you going bridge jumping or something?
as previously mentioned this is now the official renault fix for the issue, so its safe to assume its not dangerous
only problem i've noticed is you may fail the MOT depending where you go, as with the washers fitted and (as you rightly say) with the wheels off the ground the car can be mis diagnosed with knackered top mounts, so remove them prior to MOT to be safe

I swapped the backs to front last weak as they were starting to get quite worn - and it seemed to make a difference
With a bit of luck I'll get round to putting the washers on tomorrow.

I'm about to do this too so I'll report in......

I swapped tyres front to rear yesterday and can report that the grinding/hopping on full lock has completely gone!
Fronts were Goodyear F1's - there was no noise when these were new but it has come back gradually as they have worn down. The new fronts are much less worn as they have always been on the rear until now.

So I take it that's how the struts held on then! hehe. Seems a bad design if the top mount binds on the body with caster change - really it needs a bearing on both top and bottom?
Just that my other cars have what I would say "normal" top mount fixings; the top mount is part of the strut assembly and the whole assembly is then bolted to the underside of the turret.
Is it the top mount design that causes the axle tramp/bang I wonder? and does fitting the washers make it worse with the bigger gap? Never driven a FWD car that sounds so bad under wheelspin!!
